  • Some breakfast cereals or snack bars are just as loaded with sugar as candy. And I’m sure the ban doesn’t include juice either which is not much better than soda. And if the ban is broad enough it might include sugar-free sparkling water.

    While soda and candy are really frivolities they’re also not a guaranteed cause of health issues. The ban doesn’t force people to eat lean protein and vegetables or a well-balanced diet in general so this is mostly a play to make SNAP recipients more miserable. Whether that encourages people to work harder to buy their own junk food or steal junk food I don’t think they care.
